Emerald Ground Mono Update:

Well thanks to the speed up feature on the emulator I was able to get through a pretty fair chunk of the game already today. I've already beaten Norman and I'm on my way to Fortree City.

- Picked Mudkip as my starter, nicknamed him Kibbles
- Ran solo with him through the first three gyms and finally caught myself a Numel, nicknamed her Lady Lumps
- Got through all the Team Magma vs. Team Aqua stuff on Mt. Chimney and defeated Flannery
- Finally got the Go-Go Goggles and caught a Trapinch which I named Jetta and a Baltoy which I named Clay on Route 111
- Went back to Petalburg City to defeat Dad Norman so I could get Surf
- Got myself a Good Rod from the Fisher on route 118, went back to Route 111 and caught myself a Barboach which I named Whimsie
- Now I shall venture all over the country side and level up my lower three Pokemon and get them caught up with Kibbles and Lady Lumps.

Team After E4 heading to kanto

Spoiler:


Tekan either volbeat or shedinja
shedinja can be a force to be reckoned with if you play it right but it's still the definition of glass cannon
while volbeat has horrible horrible stats and its movepool isnt that great either

Well, I already beat the game on both Ruby and LeafGreen - I did them on an emulator with turbospeed access on a Windows computer. I sped through them on it because I didn't want to have to bring that computer to college with me (and i'd prefer not to bring any of my GBA games with me). I move into my dorm tomorrow, so I zipped through them. I'll post the final updates for LeafGreen later, but here are two now.

FINAL Update - Ground Mono - LeafGreen

Finally, after sooo much grinding and training I went up against the E4 and Champion and came out successful! Of course... with a fair amount of spamming of full restores and revives... lol
But I have finished! This puts a close on the LeafGreen chapter of my Ultimate Ground Mono challenge. :)

LeafGreen Ground Monotype, Update #4

Spoiler:


Here's my team at the time of the update:

Spoiler:


Since i've already beaten the game (i'll post final update there later), I started on SoulSilver. Let's look at the start of that!

SoulSilver Ground Monotype, Update #1

Spoiler:


Here's my team there:

Spoiler:


Also, to make sure, I can trade over version exclusives (like Gligar and Phanpy) from an Egg or so at any time, yes? While it does seem a bit unfair to trade them over freshly caught, I would have no qualms with that in a game that's terrible for training. :/ I would have done this on HeartGold version, but my copy of that has a lot of stuff on it so I don't want to erase it.

Emerald Ground Mono Update

Managed to beat Winona extremely easily. I was actually really surprised how easily I defeated her because it always takes me multiple tries. But I won't argue against it!! lol
Got to the top of Mt. Pyre and had a run-in with Archie.
Also caught Phanpy in the Safari Zone, nicknamed him Donny. He evolved into Donphan very quickly after.

Water monotype - LeafGreen

Where did I stop? Whatever. I beat Surge with a level 28 Wartortle and a level 26 Gyarados. Was kinda worried that Raichu would stop Gyarados cold but for some reason, it never used Shock Wave so I was able to kill it easily. Still running around catching filler dex so that I can get exp. share (or was it amulet coin? idr).

Rock Tunnel I go
Flash I forgot once again
Welp, small circle time.
